What a way to do it.
Idris Elba got into the Valentine’s Day spirit early as he proposed his girlfriend Sabrina Dhowre in a seriously sweet way.
The Luther actor popped the question ahead of a screening of his latest film, Yardie.
The Rio Cinema in Dalston was the first to confirm the happy news on social media.
Alongside a photo of the actor, they wrote:
“Another @riocinema first!
“Still 5 days to Valentines Day but @idriselba went down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend live on stage this morning before a preview of his film #Yardie.”

And when one fan asked the important question – “did she say yes?!” – the cinema was quick to reply:
“She said yes and there was much clapping and cheering.”
Others who were in the cinema confirmed the news, with one person even sharing a video of the moment the proposal took place.

The couple first went public with their relationship back in September 2017 – but were said to have been dating for seven months before that.
